Biography
Donald Margo was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1952, and he played football at Vanderbilt University before moving to El Paso, Texas in 1977 to join his father-in-law at the John D. Williams Company. After his father-in-law's death in 1981, Margo took over JDW and expanded the number of employees from 6 to 70 in the span of 30 years. He served in the State House as a Republican from 2011 to 2013, and he distinguished himself as a critic of Donald Trump; he disputed Trump's claim that El Paso was one of the deadliest cities in the United States due to its location on the Mexican border (it was actually one of the safest large cities from 2010 to 2013), and he argued that working and tax-paying undocumented workers should be granted green cards and that those who served in the military or arrived as children should be granted citizenship.
